Linux supports naming interface aliases. Example here:
<pre>
eth1 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr CENSORED
inet adr:192.168.0.42 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Masque:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:72056 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:43727 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000
RX bytes:6908277 (6.5 MiB) TX bytes:96520716 (92.0 MiB)
eth0:hg Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr CENSORED
inet adr:209.44.112.91 Bcast:209.44.112.127 Masque:255.255.255.192
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
eth0:rt Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr CENSORED
inet adr:209.44.112.92 Bcast:209.44.112.127 Masque:255.255.255.192
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
</pre>
In facter 1.5.1 and 1.5.4, this yields duplicate eth0 interfaces in the
interfaces fact:
<pre>
interfaces => eth0,eth1,eth0,eth0,sit0
</pre>
This, in turn, breaks modules (like the munin module) which rely on the
interface list to create graphs per interface:
<pre>
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with
error ArgumentError: Duplicate definition: Munin::Plugin[if_eth0] is already
defined in file /etc/puppet/modules/munin/manifests/plugin.pp at line 101;
cannot redefine at /etc/puppet/modules/munin/manifests/plugin.pp:101 on node
shell.koumbit.net
</pre>
So lots of fun. :)
The fix is to be a bit more lenient in what we consider to be an interface.
Patch for 1.5.4 attached. I know 1.5 master is slightly different, but it
should be fairly trivial to patch.
With the patch, I get proper facts in place:
<pre>
interfaces => eth0,eth1,eth0_hg,eth0_rt,sit0
</pre>
Since those are "virtual" interfaces (they're just aliases), I guess an
alternative approach could be to filter out duplicates in the interfaces fact.
